The band debuted with the single Unchained, which was followed up with Spin Aqua's first concert was held in December at the Tokyo Bay NHK Hall at the Devilock '02 concert. This single was followed up five months later with Mermaid and then three months after, the single PAPER MOON. Out of these three singles, Mermaid was the only one that charted on Oricon charts (peaking at #197).
Following up these singles was Spin Aqua's debut album and debut DVD release, Pisces and Spin Aqua Films -1st Session. They were both released a month after the last single. The album faired similarly poorly on the charts, reaching a low position of #187.
The band would later slip into hiatus due to Anna Tsuchiya's pregnancy and engagement to fellow model Joshua, then in mid-2004 it was announced to be permanently disbanded.

Nani shibuki kuchutsu kasana
Hoshi Tachi wo ukito bashi
Umi no naka yakitsukeru
Todoku natsuki wa
Chiito mitsume
Nagareru toki matteru
Ah... Yume wo miteta
Ochite yuku fade into love
Ah... Hikari no uso
Dakishimete shining love you...
Hoshizu mawatteno ilatte
Korokatte aso ume iru
Donna ni chiisakutemo
Kagayaki wa owoki
Todoku nana niwa
Atashi no uta
Afureru kodo omoiwo
Can you feel my pray...
Ah... Yume ga samete
Kagai tori in the gardens
Ah... Kagami no naka
Utsushi dake shape of my heart...
Nobody feel the moonlight
In the grateful sky...
Why can you see me
Know you so can see me fade into love
Yume wo miteta
Ah... Yume wo miteta
Ochite yuku fade into love
Ah... Hikari no uso
Dakishimete shining love you...
Ah... Yume ga samete
Kagai tori in the gardens
Ah... Kagami no naka
Utsushi dake shape of my heart...
Ah... ah... ah... ah...

The lyrics to Spin Aqua's song Paper Moon are poetic and complex, requiring careful interpretation to fully understand their meaning. The song begins with a description of a never-ending summer day, with waves crashing on the shore and stars twinkling in the sky. The singer is filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty around them, but also a hint of sadness. As they watch time pass by, they realize that everything is fleeting and temporary, and they are powerless to stop it.
The chorus of the song speaks of dreams and love, and the emotions that these powerful forces can evoke. The singer is wistful and longing, wishing that they could hold onto these feelings forever. They yearn for love, which they see as a shining light that can guide them through the darkness. At times it seems that the singer is addressing their words to someone in particular, perhaps a lover or a friend who understands their struggles and shares their passions.
The second verse of Paper Moon continues the theme of impermanence and the passage of time. The singer reflects on their own smallness in the grand scheme of things, but also on the fact that even the smallest things in life can be filled with beauty and wonder. The final lines of the song bring together all of these themes, as the singer sings of dreams that fade away and love that shines bright. The overall message of the song is one of hope and longing, a celebration of the beauty that exists in the world even in the face of sadness and loss.
